I completed the critters game, and the settings on my computer were automatically changed. I just spent over an hour trying to get them back. I loved playing all of these games, but I do not like my settings changed automatically!
I don't recommend this game.

I discovered I Love More Cats first. Then I purchased I Love Cats, I then purchased I Love Finding Critters. The graphics are very good, regular game play is excellent. My only complaint is the puzzles. A variety including different types of puzzles would allow me to give the games a 5 rating. Thankfully, there is a skip button, which I make use of, however, it would be nice to have different kinds of puzzles or games between rounds.
I recommend this game!

It had everything that I enjoy in a hidden object game, including fun side puzzles. You must complete ALL of the elements, to do the extra hidden objects in the collector's edition. For me, the domino type puzzle took a few tries. I pressed the skip button and noted where the top pieces went to eventually complete the puzzle so that I could gain access to the collector's edition hidden object scenes. I think that access should not require completion of every single puzzle since we are paying for the collector's edition, access should not be limited. The actual adventure was as fun as any I've done. I will look forward to more in this series.
I recommend this game!
Clutter IX: Clutter IXtreme Deluxe is the most fun un-Hidden Object game to date!

I own several Clutter games and the actual game play is excellent as expected. After reading that I could turn the timer off, I checked every icon on the game page, none said timer. I also attempted to stretch the game to fill my windows 10 screen, it only got smaller, no stretch. I've enjoyed many puzzles by Joe, but this one seems to be harder to set than the others, and also, with so many options, harder to stay in story mode, without accidently leaving by toggling the wrong thing, thus reducing enjoyability. I won't be buying.
I don't recommend this game.
Check out a huge variety of new puzzles in what may be the best Clutter game yet!

I own all of the previous "Puzzles by Joe" and love them all, except this one. Once you can find and get into a game it is the same. However, I have yet to figure out how to return where I left off, after leaving the game, or how to keep my scoring active. The confusing opening screen requires a learning curve, and still, you never return to where you left off. I tried the "story" option, same thing, it returns to the first page. Once you figure out the options you can play whatever you like, but there is no true story like playing "Leigh's Story." Nor, are there rooms, like the original "Puzzles by Joe." You must scroll the options every time, and search every time, this gets tiring. I like Joe's puzzles, coins search, and word games. Locating specific types of games is difficult. As with everything else in this version, once you find what you are looking for, game play is the same fun, challenging, typical Joe. Hopefully, a new edition will exclude the negative, and return to the positive roots of this series.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm trying this game because some of us adults want adult full hog games. Thank you for all of the negative reviews that assure me, and others like me, that this is exactly what we are looking for.

I enjoy searching for beautiful jewelry and flowers. I own all of the Dark Parable games. They meet my visual preference. This game was a pleasure to play. It was not terribly challenging which is just the way I like it. The extra puzzles were not as pleasurable as the game itself, but they are easy to skip. I also noted the lack of an interactive map. It would have saved many help button requests. Your tasks are to kill a poison pollen plant, and save a special girl. It contains characters from previous games, which adds an air of familiarity. I like the collectors editions because once the game is finished, you can go back and redo all of the beautiful HOS's.
I recommend this game!
